Background: Potential adverse health effects of Asian dust exposure have been reported,
but systematic reviews and quantitative syntheses are lacking. Objective: We reviewed …

Background Although studies have provided estimates of premature deaths attributable to
either heat or cold in selected countries, none has so far offered a systematic assessment …

Background The systematic evaluation of the results of time-series studies of air pollution is
challenged by differences in model specification and publication bias. Methods We …

Cambodia is prone to extreme weather events, especially floods, droughts and typhoons.

aimed to evaluate the global, regional, and national mortality burden associated with non …

Background Climate change can directly affect human health by varying exposure to non-
optimal outdoor temperature. However, evidence on this direct impact at a global scale is …

Background: Time series analysis is suitable for investigations of relatively direct and short-
term effects of exposures on outcomes. In environmental epidemiology studies, this method …

Background: Studies have examined the effects of temperature on mortality in a single city,
country, or region. However, less evidence is available on the variation in the associations …

Warming trends and increasing temperature extremes have been observed across most of
the Asian region over the past century (high confidence).{24.3} Increasing numbers of warm …

Background Recent investigations have reported a decline in the heat-related mortality risk
